A footnote reads After this paper was written, the author was shown a letter, published in Progress of Theoretical Physics 3, 205 (1948) by Z. Koba and G. Takeda. The letter is dated May 22, 1948, and briefly describes a method of treatment of radiative problems, similar to the method of this paper.

It turns out, the Japanese physicists Koba and Takeda had submitted similar work just two days before.
When Dyson learned of this he amended his paper to recognize their work. He lamented the effect of the war on the dissemination of important ideas: "The isolation of these Japanese workers has undoubtedly constituted a serious loss to theoretical physics."
